SøgnfjordSøgnfjord is the deepest (at 4,291 feet), one of the longest (at 128 miles), and perhaps the most visually dramatic fjord in Norway. Communities along the central portion of the fjord are the origins of the Bergsetter family of Bersaeter farm in the small, rural community of Innvik, and also to the Huseby family of Husebøe farm near Leikanger, which is the regional political center for the county which includes most of the fjord.
